Hey everyone, as I'm starting to research colleges, I'm curious to know which state has the most Division 1 schools for athletics? I'd like to have a variety of options in terms of size, location, and sports culture, and I think knowing which state has the most D1 schools could help me narrow down my choices. Thanks in advance!
